Alexander talks about contract

We'll be keeping a close eye on Florence native Shaun Alexander this week.

He flew into town Sunday night with the rest of the Seahawks. He will be a
free agent after this game (his contract will expire in March), and there
is a sense he could be leaving the Seahawks after six seasons. He spoke in
some big-picture images Sunday night when asked whether he has to prove
something in Super Bowl XL and if he is aware that this might be his last
game with Seattle.

"I don't live my life trying to prove anything," he said. "I set high goals
for myself; I set high goals for my team and as a group. We just try to
achieve them. Contracts are contracts. They're just part of the business."

Then he was asked if he thought this would be his last game with the
Seahawks.

"No, not really," he said. "All I think about is getting this team to a
Super Bowl and now we're her to play the greatest game of our lives, which
is what we're going to have to do to win, and then try to build a dynasty."
